Thyroid Madness Definition according to many reported patient experiences:

  1. Treating most hypothyroid patients with T4-only meds; offering no options.
  2. Dosing solely by the TSH and the total T4, or using the outdated "Thyroid Panel".
  3. Prescribing anti-depressants in lieu of evaluating and treating the free T3.
  4. Telling thyroid patients that desiccated natural thyroid is "unreliable", "inconsistent", "dangerous" or "outdated".
  5. Making labwork more important than the hypo symptoms which scream their presence.
  6. Failing to see the OBVIOUS symptoms of poorly treated thyroid, and instead, recommending a slew of other tests and diagnoses.
